I really did not like this heroine and when I don't like one of the mcs in a romance it is really hard for me to love a book. This one just wasn't for me.
This is how a romance book should be written. Rian and Pierce have great conversation and amazing chemistry. I laughed so many times while reading this, and found myself wishing Pierce really existed. I had to literally pace myself and only allow myself to read 2-3 chapters a night because I didn't want the book to end, but halfway through I couldn't stop reading because it was so good.
I haven't read any of the previous books in the series but it didn't make a difference...except I wish I got to read more about Lex. Whoa.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.
This book was fun.
I am starting to learn that Helena Hunting is a reliable contemporary romance author. Her hockey series - so good.
What I liked about this book is that is was just fun, right about drama. Characters clear, each with their personalities. Dialogue and banter were on point.
Just delightful.
Recommend.
I received an arc from NetGalley and St. Martin's for an honest review.
Helena Hunting is incapable of writing anything that's not good. This one is no exception; funny, touching, and showcasing some very imperfect yet endearing characters, I read this one without stopping for air.

Helena Hunting never fails to make me smile. I loved this smart and fun story that kept me turning the pages long after my bedtime.
3.5 stars... cute, funny and sweet - nothing I didn't expect and somewhat predictable but still enjoyable!
It always surprises me when an author writes a book that has a different feel than her normal and it really shouldn’t, but I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting wasn’t her usual rip roaring funny rom-com, this book was a bit more serious, it was charming, and it was very enjoyable.
Since the age of 18 Rian and her twin sister Marley have been pretty much on their own and figuring out how to make life work. Being successful real estate agents in the Hamptons have helped them work towards their goal of gaining enough capital to be able to flip some beach houses and save enough money t be able to buy their grandmother’s estate from the current owner when it goes on the market and given the state of disrepair it probably won’t be much longer. When Rian is approached in the grocery store by a man who defines bad boy and has an a$$hole demeanor to match, she if furious at his accusations until she realizes that it’s a case of mistaken identity and her twin has some explaining to do, what Rian can’t deny is the attraction she feels for a man she just met and one she knows won’t be good for her or her heart.
I actually love the way they met and the verbal foreplay between them for a good part of this book and while the first third of this book was pretty funny and somewhat snarky that mellowed as this story played out. That’s not a bad thing, it was just different and I enjoyed watching them spend time together, enjoy each other’s company in all kinds of interesting ways, and get to know one another even when Rian was holding back a good chunk of her life. Pierce turns out to be the opposite of a bad boy, he’s actually quite sweet and has a heart of gold and is perfect for Rian even if she refuses to admit it or open herself up to him. I loved that he was patient, kind, and even when he was angry he managed to think about what happened rationally and deal with the situation and Rian calmly. I liked Rian and it was obvious that life had made her guarded and that was warranted, but it was fun to watch her enjoy life again with Pierce even when at times she ran scared.
A sweet romance with a steamy, sexy side I Flipping Love You was a great summer read and one readers will no doubt enjoy!

This book was fabulous from page one. It has everything you need strong female, hot men and hot sex. Rian and Pierce have so much chemistry and they just made me smile. This book will make you laugh out loud, at the same time that you are rooting for Rian and Marley to come out ahead!!!! You will love this book!!!!!!
Fab rom-com…
I’ve been loving the Shacking Up series and Pierce and Rian were icing on the rom-com cake! I’d come to expect the unique meetings of the heroes and heroines and theirs was perhaps my favourite. Mistaken identity and, on Rian’s part, a willingness to make it right on her terms, meant fun texts and edgy conversations that had me laughing right from the start. Of course, there was room for so much more as delicious chemistry and professional rivalry threw more than one spanner in the works…
You get a hint of the games, both hilarious and serious, from the blurb and it played out just as promised. Rich with laughter and sexual innuendo, I loved the banter and the back and forth between the characters. And, as always, so much emotion laced it all….
Characters with heart and soul mixed with laugh out loud humour, meant this was another fabulous read!
I Flipping Love You is the third book in the Shacking Up series by Helena Hunting. The main characters are Rian who has a twin sister and together they are flipping houses and Pierce a patent lawyer who doubles as a house flipper in his spare time to help his brother. I was not a big said of said brother and actually, I was not a big fan of either sibling. Hunter might seem little harsh in the beginning, but if someone had done damage to my car and then just vanished, I would have also been upset. The story was good and the main characters likable. I liked the growth in their relationship and in their characters. I would recommend the book.

I flipping love you - Helena Hunting
A new kind of love story about flipping houses, taking risks, and landing that special someone who’s move-in ready…
SHE’S GOT CURB APPEAL
Rian Sutter grew up with the finer things in life. Spending summers in The Hamptons was a normal occurrence for her until her parents lost everything years ago. Now Rian and her sister are getting their life, and finances, back on track through real estate. Not only do they buy and sell houses to the rich and famous, but they finally have the capital to flip their very own beachfront property. But when she inadvertently catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her, all bets are off…
HE’S A FIXER UPPER
Pierce Whitfield doesn’t normally demo kitchens, install dry wall, or tear apart a beautiful woman’s dreams. He’s just a down-on-his-luck lawyer who needed a break from the city and agreed to help his brother work on a few homes in the Hamptons. When he first meets Rian, the attraction is undeniable. But when they start competing for the same pieces of prime real estate, the early sparks turn into full-blown fireworks. Can these passionate rivals turn up the heat on their budding romance — without burning down the house?
I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, set in the Shacking Up world, follows two people, both working in real estate, who find themselves vying for the same properties in the Hamptons, leading to a sometimes-not-so-friendly competition.
So I just happened to catch this one to read now on Netgalley, and downloaded it in exchange for a honest review. This has been my favorite read of 2018. Pierce is literally in my top 10 book boyfriends.
Lately I have been picking out books that (without my knowledge, I have the tendency to be a cover whore... and don't read the back of the book a lot of times...confession.) are hate to love romances.
I seriously flippin loved this book. The holy hot chemistry batman!
This is my favorite of all Helena Hunting's books that I have read. The steamy romance you can feel coming from the pages of this book will be sure to keep you warm at night in the winter, and make you need a fan in the summer.
This book is about Pierce and Rian, their love story, and flipping houses. What more can a girl want?
I kept this short and sweet. I give this 5 out of 5 stars for I flipping love this book!

I must say this wasn’t what I was expecting, but none the less, it was enjoyable. The story was intriguing and held your attention. The characters were easy to relate to and connect with. Fans of the romance genre will find this very enjoyable!
I thought this book was 'flipping' funny. This was one of the first titles I have read by Helena Hunting and it certainly won't be the last. The characters were amazing and the storyline was unique and well written. Absolutely recommend the book!
I'll admit it, I'm pretty much a one-click purchaser for anything Helena Hunting has written. I love her books, but I think I love the little connections that often pop up as they connect the readers to the rest of her Shacking Up world, while still being a total standalone read. I Flipping Love You was yet another good read. Nothing like twins to add a little confusion to someone's world. Rian and Pierce started off a little rocky - twin sisters and a little damage to a car can have that effect on a first meeting - but things progressed well from there. While they definitely start off as enemies, they quickly progress to lovers. And as one might expect from Helena Hunting, there are crazy mishaps, hot sexy times, and a whole lot of heart. I definitely recommend this book.
Helena Hunting knows how to write sexy characters, sexy plots and steamy sex. Readers will like this latest romp.
I love, love, love Helena Hunting. I enjoyed her Puck series but was equally as excited to see something new from her. These characters just live and breathe on the page. The story flowed beautifully and I was invested from the moment I started the book. I thought the plot was fresh and fun and I definitely enjoyed it. I would recommend this title.
Helena hunting. What can I say this woman has the Lol’s on lock. Really enjoyed this!
A hit and run
A case of mistaken identity.
A coveted piece of property.
I am the biggest Helena Hunting fan and this novel made me the happiest girl. She wrote this novel with her usual sass and wit and I could not get enough. I highly recommend it.
